Yellowstone in Color

What can I say about Yellowstone National Park that hasn’t been said before? That I was thrilled to make another trip – our 7th, but who’s counting? – and it was the best yet! We were desperate to travel and a road trip to… Continue Reading “Yellowstone in Color”

Sun Setting on Summer

The long and busy days of summer are waning and fall is in the air. Smoky skies have cleared and last week’s orange sun has returned to normal. Still no rain but that will come. ~ Susanne

Sunset Over the Grand Canyon

Sometimes the highlight of a good vacation is catching a beautiful sunset. And it doesn’t hurt when the landscape is as epic as the Grand Canyon. So for this week’s Sunday Stills Photo Challenge, I remembered our trip in 2017 and the sunset over… Continue Reading “Sunset Over the Grand Canyon”

Sunset in Pink

In the middle of a very rainy January we managed to find two days of good weather for an escape to Port Ludlow. The first morning I caught a hint of pink over the Olympics at sunrise, a foretaste of what would come later… Continue Reading “Sunset in Pink”

Golden Hour Over San Francisco Bay

We cruised into San Francisco stealthily, passing by the Rock in darkness where inmates sleep in tourists’ dreams. The sky was red and gold till sunrise – the spell was broken. A reminiscence – for Six Word Saturday. ~ Susanne

Cloudy Skies and The Summer that Wasn’t

While the rest of the country is burning up, here in the Pacific Northwest we continue to have cool temperatures. And wind. And rain. And always cloudy skies. Perhaps we’ll have no summer at all. Earlier this week I walked along the Cedar River… Continue Reading “Cloudy Skies and The Summer that Wasn’t”

Sunrise over the Siuslaw River

I’m not much of a morning person but my husband is and had already been out for a walk. We were staying in Florence on the Oregon Coast high above the Siuslaw River. “You should have seen the sunrise,’  he said,  ” it was… Continue Reading “Sunrise over the Siuslaw River”
